9/15/2007Fall has arrived ...big time. I can't believe that I was gasping in 100 degree plus heat just two weeks ago. It is a welcome change. It's much easier to breathe I'm watching our local major league baseball club on TV. They have been on a terrible losing streak recently...9 games. Ouch! Tonight they have come back from a 3 run deficit and currently lead 4-3. Maybe they will hold on and actually win a game. Oh well, I can't complain. They did win the World Series last year so I can't be too unhappy. My poor old Cardinals are really beat up this year(maybe that's why I identify with them) so I'll give them a pass.My experiment with the new blood pressure med is off to a slow start. I'm charting my BP daily(as instructed) and my bp is still a little high and my pulse rate is still elevated. I'll keep at it and hope the situation improves. I return to my PCP in a couple of weeks to check on the new med's effectiveness. If the situation doesn't improve in the next week I'll give him a call. Other than that, I feel pretty good. I hope you all do too.Be well,Tom
